At Design Interviews

Interview with Francesco Sarcone : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Francesco Sarcone : The idea was to make an interaction between visual and audio, creating the sound out of nothing in the same way the space is created by something that we don&#039;t know and we can&#039;t really understand. A speech from Alan Watts inspired the video: &quot;... that&#039;s what we find as we investigate the Universe: make the microscope bigger and bigger, and we will find ever more minute things; the Universe expands, because it&#039;s running away from itself.&quot; .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work?
